January 15 2025 - 7:05AM
Amwell® (NYSE: AMWL), a leader in digital care, today announced
that Vida Health, a leader in virtual cardiometabolic care, is now
part of the clinical programs portfolio on the Amwell platform.
The program, Amwell Cardiometabolic Care Powered by Vida, will
be available to Amwell’s expansive client footprint of health plans
and employers. Clients will be able to offer their members access
to a suite of cardiometabolic care, including obesity, diabetes
prevention and management, and behavioral health support. The
program will tailor care based on social factors such as food
security, financial barriers, cultural norms, and beliefs. Vida’s
services are available on the Amwell platform alongside existing
virtual primary care, urgent care, behavioral health and other
clinical programs in the Amwell ecosystem.
“We are thrilled to partner with Amwell,” said Joe Murad, CEO of
Vida Health. “By leveraging our complementary capabilities, we’re
making it easier than ever to provide members with personalized,
high-touch care. Together, we’re working to reduce member friction,
improve health outcomes at scale, and reduce costs.”
More than 40 percent of American adults struggle with obesity, a
condition that increases the risk of developing diabetes, heart
disease and cancer. Together, obesity and diabetes cost the U.S.
healthcare system more than $500 billion a year.
Vida clinicians prescribe GLP-1s, other anti-obesity medications
and lifestyle interventions like Medical Nutrition Therapy. These
services are delivered through a value-based, outcomes-driven model
that ensures accountability and measurable results.
“We’re pleased Vida is joining the growing number of third-party
programs available through Amwell’s integrated clinical solutions
portfolio. With this partnership, our health plan clients can offer
members a single entry point to the clinical and behavioral health
support they need for obesity care and related illnesses,” said Ido
Schoenberg, Amwell chairman and CEO. “Vida’s programs adapt to the
patient’s needs, resulting in a personalized, cost-effective way to
achieving weight loss requirements while applying an
evidence-based, step therapy approach.”
Amwell’s clinical programs portfolio features virtual and
digital care products from partners addressing various health
conditions. The portfolio is part of the company’s platform and
provides health plans with the technology to offer employers and
members a unified and delightful entry point to a comprehensive and
dynamic set of orchestrated clinical programs. The result is a
personalized and reportable whole-person care model focused on
improving health outcomes and driving efficiencies.
